If you think that parentheses are spelt with a d, you're certainly
confused :-)

When someone says just brackets what does he actually mean?

hello community,i am a newbie to python and program in general.

The file would appear to not be on your search path, that is, in any
directory in which Python is expecting to find it. Either move it to a
directory on your path, or change your path to include it's location.
The easiest way to find out what your path is, that I know, is
import sys
sys.path
I should have mentioned, the other possibility is that the file does
not, in fact, exist, but I assume you put it out there somewhere?

Python does not use a search path for the open() function, only for
imports. With open(), it uses a simple

Python can't see your file. You can check what python
is seeing by importing os and using listdir():
import os
os.listdir(',') # . is the current

Ah! I was just running into this... I did not know that. So there's no
way to get it to search a path (other than coding some string
concatenation of path names or something, of course) to open a file?
Potentially distutils.spawn.find_executable might apply,

They're all brackets. Often the type of bracket doesn't matter, but
